You’re Not Alone

SUICIDE IS NOT A SOLUTION

It is hard to see the future when suffering from intolerable emotion, unbearable pain, and unacceptable anguish. However, an unpredictable future is waiting for you to discover. There are real solutions and there are people who love and care about you. You have to LIVE to see your smile!

LIVE IN YOUR FUTURE

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Peter Drucker

As long as you feel pain, you’re still alive. As long as you make mistakes, you’re still human. And as long as you keep trying, there’s still hope. Never give up on yourself and never abandon your dreams.

Susan Gale

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Eleanor Roosevelt

You realize that our mistrust of the future makes it hard to give up the past.

Chuck Palahniuk

Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don’t believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because it’s good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason.

Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression

I’m choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am. I’m making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises.

Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so.

Noam Chomsky

For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together to build the impossible. Mankind’s greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn’t have to be like this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.

Stephen Hawking

You have within you,right now,everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you.

Brian Tracy

Let go of the past and go for the future. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you imagined.

Henry David Thoreau

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.

John F. Kennedy

Our human compassion binds us the one to the other – not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future.

Nelson Mandela

The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.

Gustave Flaubert

The future rewards those who press on. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I’m going to press on.

Barack Obama

Never give up hope. Situations can change over night, problems can dissolve in the light of a new day’s sun.

Leon Brown

SUICIDE IS NOT A SOLUTION

We are afraid of uncertainty in this difficult time. Therefore, we create a certainty about the future by persuading ourselves to believe that it would be no difference … However, we are free to imagine, to choose, to create, and to control our future, because there is uncertainty. Suicide is like stopping the time. It creates certainty without freedom, and certainty without future …
